1 Mwet Judah nukewa elos sulella Uzziah wen natul Amaziah, su yac singoul onkosr matwal, tuh elan tokosra in aol papa tumal ah.
Then all the people of Judah appointed his son, Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, as king in place of his father, Amaziah.
2 Tukun Amaziah el misa, Uzziah el sruokya siti Elath, ac sifilpa musaela.
He built up Eloth, and he restored it to the dominion of Judah. After this, the king slept with his fathers.
3 Uzziah el tokosrala ke el yac singoul onkosr, ac el leum in Jerusalem ke yac lumngaul luo. Nina kial pa Jecoliah, sie mutan Jerusalem.
Uzziah was sixteen years old when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for fifty-two years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jecoliah, from Jerusalem.
4 El fahsr tukun ouiya lun papa tumal, ac oru ma su akinsewowoye LEUM GOD.
And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, in accord with all that his father, Amaziah, had done.
5 Ke lusen na moul lal Zechariah, su luti nu sel tuh elan etu in sangeng sin God, Uzziah el oaru na in kulansupu LEUM GOD, ac God El akinsewowoyal.
And he sought the Lord, during the days of Zechariah, who understood and saw God. And while he was seeking the Lord, he directed him in all things.
6 Uzziah el som mweuni mwet Philistia. El kunausya pot in siti lun Gath, Jamnia, ac Ashdod, ac el musaela ac kuhlasak kutu siti apkuran nu Ashdod, ac oayapa in acn saya lun Philistia.
Indeed, he went out and fought against the Philistines. And he destroyed the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod. Also, he built towns in Ashdod, and among the Philistines.
7 God El kasrel in kutangla mwet Philistia, mwet Arab ma muta Gurbaal, ac mwet Meunim.
And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians, who were living in Gurbaal, and against the Ammonites.
8 Mwet Ammon elos sang takma nu sel Uzziah, pwanang el arulana kui, ac pweng kacl som nwe ke sun acn Egypt.
And the Ammonites weighed out gifts to Uzziah. And his name became widely known, even to the entrance of Egypt, because of his frequent victories.
9 Uzziah el musaela kais sie tower ke Mutunpot In Sruwasrik, ke Mutunpot Infahlfal, ac ke yen ma pot uh kuhfla we, in akkeyala pot ke acn Jerusalem.
And Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem, above the gate of the corner, and above the gate of the valley, and others on the same side of the wall, and he fortified them.
10 El oayapa musaela tower ke yen mwesis ac kuhlasak ke pot, ac el pukanak lufin kof pukanten, mweyen pukanten un kosro natul pe eol ac in acn tupasrpasr layen nu roto. Ke sripen el lungse orekma ke ima, el akkeye mwet uh in yoki ima in grape fin acn tohktok uh, ac orek ima yenwo fohk we.
Then he also constructed towers in the wilderness, and dug many cisterns, because he had much cattle, both in the plains and in the starkness of the wilderness. Also, he had vineyards and dressers of vines in the mountains and at Carmel. Certainly, he was a man devoted to agriculture.
11 Oasr un mwet mweun na yohk se lal su akola nu ke mweun. Ma simusla ke mwet mweun inge karinginyuk sel Jeiel ac Maaseiah, mwet sim luo lal su orekma ye kolyuk lal Hananiah, sie sin mwet pwapa lun tokosra.
Now the army of his warriors, who would go forth to battle, was under the hand of Jeiel, the scribe, and Maaseiah, the teacher, and under the hand of Hananiah, who was among the king’s commanders.
12 Mwet mweun lal uh kolyuk sin mwet kol luo tausin onfoko.
And the entire number of the leaders, by the families of strong men, was two thousand six hundred.
13 Oasr mwet mweun tolfoko itkosr tausin lumfoko su akola in mweun kacl tokosra in lain mwet lokoalok lal.
And the entire army under them was three hundred and seven thousand five hundred, who were fit for war, and who fought on behalf of the king against the adversaries.
14 Uzziah el sang kufwen mweun nu sin mwet mweun inge, ke mwe loeyuk, osra in fahkfuk, mwe susu, nuknuk in mweun osra, pisr ac sukan pisr, oayapa eot nu ke fuht.
Also, Uzziah prepared for them, that is, for the entire army, shields, and spears, and helmets, and breastplates, and bows, as well as slings for the casting of stones.
15 Mwet usrnguk in kinauk ma sasu elos muta Jerusalem ac orala kufwen mwe pisr, oayapa mwe sis eot lulap liki tower ac liki sruwasrik ke pot in siti uh. Pweng kacl Uzziah fahsrelik nu yen nukewa, ac el arulana kui ke sripen kasru lun God nu sel.
And in Jerusalem, he made various kinds of machines, which he placed in the towers, and at the corners of the walls, so as to shoot arrows and large stones. And his name went forth to far away places, for the Lord was helping him and had strengthened him.
16 Tusruktu ke Tokosra Uzziah el mutawauk in kui, na el inse fulatyak, ac ma inge kololla nu ke musalla. El aklusrontenye LEUM GOD lal ke el som nu in Tempul ac sifacna akosak mwe keng fin loang lun mwe kisa keng.
But when he had become strong, his heart was lifted up, even to his own destruction. And he neglected the Lord his God. And entering into the temple of the Lord, he intended to burn incense upon the altar of incense.
17 Azariah, mwet tol, ac mwet tol ku ac pulaik oalngoul sayal, welul utyak tokol tokosra
And entering immediately after him, Azariah the priest, and with him eighty priests of the Lord, very valiant men,
18 in kutongol, ac elos fahk nu sel, “Uzziah! Wangin suwohs lom in akosak mwe keng nu sin LEUM GOD. Mwet tol in fita lal Aaron mukena pa akmutalyeyukla in oru ma inge. Fahla liki acn mutal se inge. Kom oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD, ke ma inge El ac fah tia sifil akinsewowoye kom.”
withstood the king, and they said: “It is not your office, Uzziah, to burn incense to the Lord; rather, it is the office of the priests, that is, of the sons of Aaron, who have been consecrated for this same ministry. Depart from the sanctuary, otherwise you will be in contempt. For this act will not be reputed to you for your glory by the Lord God.”
19 Uzziah el srakna tu sisken loang sac in Tempul, ac sruok mwe neinyuk mwe keng se. El kasrkusrakak sin mwet tol inge, ac in kitin pacl ah na musen lepa sikyak ke motonsrol.
And Uzziah, having become angry, while holding in his hand the censer so that he might burn incense, threatened the priests. And immediately a leprosy arose on his forehead, in the sight of the priests, in the house of the Lord, at the altar of incense.
20 Azariah ac mwet tol wial elos suiya motonsrol tokosra ac arulana lut, na elos lusulla liki Tempul. El sulaklak na illa mweyen LEUM GOD El kalyael.
And when the high priest Azariah, and all the rest of the priests, had gazed upon him, they saw the leprosy on his forehead, and they hurried to expel him. Then too, he himself, becoming terrified, rushed to depart, because immediately he had become aware of the wound of the Lord.
21 In pacl sac lac nwe ke el misa, tokosra el tia ku in sifil utyak nu in Tempul ke sripen mas se lal inge. Ke ma inge el srengla mutana in lohm sel sifacna, ac itukyang nu sel Jotham, wen natul, elan kol mutunfacl sac.
And so, king Uzziah was a leper, even until the day of his death. And he lived in a separate house, being full of leprosy, because of which he had been ejected from the house of the Lord. Then Jotham, his son, directed the house of the king, and he was judging the people of the land.
22 Mwet palu Isaiah wen natul Amoz, el simusla ma nukewa ma Tokosra Uzziah el orala ke pacl in leum lal ah.
But the rest of the words of Uzziah, the first and the last, were written by the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz.
23 Uzziah el misa, ac pukpuki ke acn lun leum, tuh ke sripen mas lal ah el tia pukpuki inkulyuk lun mwet leum. Jotham, wen natul, el aolul in tokosra.
And Uzziah slept with his fathers. And they buried him in the field of the royal sepulchers, because he was a leper. And Jotham, his son, reigned in his place.
